What they’re saying:

(

“If you enjoy a light read and tales of bravado and cowardice, of friendship and
treachery, then these tales of adventure and magic in a world where just about
anything’s possible will give you a few great hours of directed exercise for
your imagination.”

Ex-cop Josh Grant thought he left danger behind, but the Outlaws have other plans for his peaceful life.

*

Josh chooses to live as a recluse in the mountains of Idaho as penance for failing to protect his murdered wife and child in Detroit. His new serenity is shattered when he stumbles onto the murder of his only friend and an assault of his friend’s daughter, Jolene. By saving Jolene, Josh angers the Outlaws, a gang of vicious bikers. When they seek revenge, Josh must draw on old skills to keep him and Jolene alive.

What they’re saying about it:

*

“My nephew referred me to this book and from the minute I began reading it, I was inside the book and “living” it. Great character and plot development.

*

I really enjoyed Josh and Jolene in the “OUTLAWS”. The book was extremely well written and a real page turner. I look forward to more of the same.”–S.Spraul

*

“The story line, the character development, the descriptive style used by Mr. Weldy are all top notch. “Outlaws” is a fast read because I couldn’t put it down. Bravo to the author. Write more, please!!”

Sssh! Do you hear it? There is murder in the air. Pregnant Ashley Ferguson thinks it is another ordinary night leaving her part-time job at the CVX pharmacy. Oh, but it is not. Two drunk, sinister strangers abduct the twenty-three year old, on the way to her car. Ashley finds herself in a terrifying life or death struggle.

*

“My baby!” she pleads. “Please. This will be my first child. If something were to happen-”

*

“Are you deaf?” one of her attackers snaps. “We told you we don’t want to hear about your kid. If you’re looking for sympathy you’re not gonna get it. So hush!”

&*

Will Ashley and her unborn baby be murdered, and dumped in the woods behind the shopping center? Or will she somehow survive what will likely go down as the most shocking crime to occur in Wichita, New Jersey in decades?

Lyra McCauley receives an alarming letter from the coroner who evaluated her deceased aunt, originally thought to have died of cancer. The news causes Lyra to take leave from her job and travel from sunny Tampa to the frozen island community in northern Michigan. Questioning whether Dragonspeir magic was responsible for her aunt’s death, she resolves to learn the truth and accepts the Imperial Dragon’s appointment into the Alliance sorcery training.

Additionally, becoming proficient in magic craft is the only way she can bridge the gap between her mortal human world and her lover’s. Cullen, a 220-year-old wizard, is dependent upon his Dragonspeir magic for immortality. He is her only family now; she cannot lose him.

Evil forces block her and try to steal her inherited scribal aura. Riding a stealth dragon, a cloaked rider pursues Lyra. Both the Alliance and Dark Realm alchemists lay tricks and traps. Her aura equals that of the first and most powerful Scribe, but will Lyra’s novice training allow her to discover the truth? Will she be able to be with Cullen, or will the Dark Realm keep them apart?

“Moore weaves a tale of love, magic and danger that draws you into the story. You want to keep reading and see what happens next for Lyra. I was honestly sad when the book ended and wanted more. I’ve decided that I need to go back and read the first one. You can pick up the second book and not be lost, but there are references back that don’t make a lot of sense if you haven’t read the first story. The book was well written, stands alone on it’s own and is a great example of fantasy and magic for those who enjoy magic in their stories. ~Margaret at The Book Hoard

“I have to admit to being a sucker for Dragon books. I love dragons and magic. I love that the animals (dragons, unicorns, owl, etc) are fully realized individual entities in this book. A romance with adventure, a quest, a unicorn, dragons, and a happy ending is just what I needed today.

Marsha Moore has created a unique, fascinating world that I would love to visit… okay maybe after all the fighting is done, but visit nonetheless. The character, human and otherwise, have individual personality trait with their own idiosyncrasy. It was fun to see them interact and develop as the story progressed.” ~Mindy at Books, Books, Books

Adelia has no one to blame for her heartache. She’d been cautioned, many times and by many people. Everyone except her mother had told her it was folly to marry an elf, citing a host of reasons. Adelia knew their warnings were not unfounded. She knew he was very different from her and her kind, he was much older, and he’d had five other wives before her. She didn’t care. She had chosen her path.

What they’re saying:

*

“This sweet novella was like going to a fancy restaurant with delectable dishes,
but tiny portions. I loved everything: the characters, the allure of another
land with a mysterious species mingling with humans, the complicated
relationships, controlled passions, and how the most beautiful understood that
beauty was only skin deep. The ending was sudden; the storyline was succulent
with promise of many possible developments. My appetite has been piqued; I am
ready with fork and knife. Tragically, the kitchen has closed.

I can only hope this gifted writer is somewhere working on the continuation.”

A world recovering from a devastating plague… A brutal enemy threatening invasion… A young man seeking to escape the shadow of his father… A ship manned by a crew of fresh academy graduates… A top-secret experimental propulsion system… A questionable alliance with a mysterious green-eyed woman…

What destiny has in store for the crew of the UES Aurora, is far greater than any of them could ever imagine. And this is only the beginning…

What they’re saying about it:

(

“I started by reading the sample and was hooked. As a Star Trek fan, I could easily imagine Nathan as a young Kirk. The story was fast moving – never a dull moment. Once I started it was hard to stop. I just had to find out what was going to happen next or how they would get out of their predicament. When I finished this episode, I immediately went out and grabbed the next two in the series and look forward to continuing the adventure.”

(

“I would definitely recommend this book to any reader, not just sci-fi buffs. Very interesting story, good characters with lots of good background to make you really know the characters. Hope to see more books in this series.”

(

“I was browsing for something new to read and came across this. The reviews sounded good so I downloaded the sample. I read that and I was hooked. This series is tremendous. The author is very good at building the excitement. It was a quick read for me as the action kept pulsing through and I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this and the subsequent volumes. Thank you Mr. Brown, you are making SciFi fun for me again.”
